>From an early newspaper clipping I found among family notes & papers -- no date or name of paper. If anyone can help date this it would be interesting. Best guess is that it was in Nov. & whatever year Phoebe HOWELL married Harry BROOKS. Hope the information helps someone! SOUTH CANAAN: We regret to learn that Mrs. Albert JENKINS has moved to Port Jervis. She as well as the rest of the family will be greatly missed in our community. Mrs. Enoch Swingle is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Harvey EMERY, of East Canaan. Miss Margaret HUNTER will give a box social at the Lerch school house on Saturday evening, Nov 11th. Proceeds to buy an organ for the school. Mr. & Mrs.L. T. SMITH attended the funeral of Perry A. CLARK at Honesdale recently. Mrs. Howard SWINGLE is still under the care of a trained nurse. Mrs. LENNON & Mrs. PHILLIPS are both doing nicely. Miss Nettie LERCH, formerly of this place, will spend the winter with her niece, Mrs. Will ERK of Troy, Pa. F. L.

GERRITY, GERAHTY are in my direct paternal line. My great grandparents were born in Hawley, Wayne Co. and Carbondale, Luzerne/Lackawanna Co. in the 1850s. They settled in Scranton and environs. In my research of GERRITY, GERAHTY I have gathered quite a bit of information that I am willing to share. Needless to say I also welcome any GERRITY, GERATHY or related family information as I have many unconnected lines in my data base. Hope I can help someone Regards, Walt

Hello List, We are up to 809 in our index of the buried in and around Wayne County. I have caught up again on entering the data and would like to ask again that anyone wanting to help with this data base, please contact me. My thanks to all those who have already contributed to the Wayne County site. I can take data in any format and any amount. Prefered format is as it appears on the site: Last name, first name, death date, birth date, relationship if known to people buried with.

Iris - I think that this one is OK. I know that at least some of Anjou's Probate Record Books are fine. I'm just not sure how many he did - and thus - how many are any good. But I figure anything from it should be checked in other sources - just in case this one isn't any good. I don't think any knows the full extent to which Anjou made stuff up - but that most of the genealogies are suspect since he is known to have faked some of them.

Looking for information on MC DONALD, CAVENEY, WALTON. A fellow researcher provided me with the following information: From the 1891 Pennsylvania Manual: M.E. McDonald, Lackawanna County, was born in Hawley, Pa., Wayne County, September 28, 1858; moved to Dunmore, Lackawanna County in 1863, where he has since resided; is a moulder by trade; was educated in the common schools and Wyoming Seminary; studied law with Hon. Lemuel Amerman; was admitted to the bar in October 1883, and is now engaged in the practice of his profession; served as auditor, school director and borough solicitor of Dunmore; was a member of the House of Representatives, sessions of 1887 and 1889; elected to Senate November 1890. Senate of Pennsylvania, 1891-92 addresses of members: McDonald, M.E. Postoffice: Scranton, Lackawanna County Harrisburg Residence: Bolton House An article appeared in the Scranton Tribune May 1, 1902, which discusses an article that appeared in the Postal Clerk's Magazine. The article details the impact that Mr. H. J. CAVENEY of San Francisco, CA made on the life of postal clerks. In the article it mentions how Mr. CAVENEY was a former merchant in the Bellevue section of Scranton, PA and the cousin of PA Senator M. E. Mc Donald and M. W. Walton the Foreman of the Scranton Times. While I am interested on obtaining information on MC DONALD, CAVENEY and WALTON lines I am also looking for suggestions on how to obtain additional data on Pennsylvania Senator M. E. MC DONALD. I do know he died in 1921 but do not know at this time where he died and where he is buried. Thanks for any help, information and suggestions Regards, Walt Walton J.

For those who were searching for the subject book a few months ago, it is now in the Barnes & Noble online catalog with a 3-5 week wait for delivery. It is published by Heritage Books but I could not find it in their catalog. The B&N price $17 plus Shipping. Perhaps the shipping delay means that it is not yet available and Heritage Books will be offering a pre-publication price, but I went ahead and ordered my copy from B&N. Ann

Winifred, Ledgedale is on the edge of Pike and Wayne Counties. The lake is Wallenpaupack. Not sure what all counties it covers. The tannery I refer to is now under the lake. The lake was completed around 1929, I think. From what I understand, there were several tanneries in the NE PA area, so I don't know if this would be the tannery you are looking for or not. Sorry that I'm not much help. Kathy

Diane, The tannery I am referring to was owned by a Morss. Not sure of spelling. Kathy

Does anyone on the list have any information about Ledgedale before the Lake went in? Mostly about the Tannery, but any info about the original buildings, businesses, would be appreciated. Most of my ancestors worked at the Tannery, and my grandfather worked on the dam for the lake. Thanks, Kathy
